Lol, I would never stick a fork into our good friends to the west of us ;) What I was saying in the post is that it's going to be close and I still think it is. I have a feeling that most likely it will be Binghamton in last place as of now. I'm still waiting for their snow stats. After I mad that post someone in our Facebook group from The Roc mentioned how they got some snow over night and some today. I am still seeing storm totals for Albany at 8-14 inches. That's storm totals. Right now as of this last update Albany is showing storm totals of something around 8.2 inches and it looks like it's still snowing there. It's looking right now like Rochester will move up to the 3rd spot this update but I am still waiting for Binghamton's stats which should be anytime now.. The Roc is at 66.5 and Albany is at 61.1 as around 4 PM. I do like how we are making up some ground on Buffalo :)Hey Bruce,

Bruce HydeMon, 09 Feb 2015 20:33:35 +0000http://goldensnowball.com/?p=1521#comment-15147UPDATE: NOAA revised the forecast for Albany since I looked this AM. Now calling for 3-5 total daytime accumulation vs 1-2 for ROC ( both locations are the Airports ). Still, with ROC coming from the last read with a 4.7" lead, even if ROC only records 1" and Albany 5" ROC still stays ahead. Both ROC and Albany have a shot to leap BING though ( their Airport forecasts only 1" total for today ).UPDATE: NOAA revised the forecast for Albany since I looked this AM.

Bruce HydeMon, 09 Feb 2015 20:22:08 +0000http://goldensnowball.com/?p=1521#comment-15146Those totals look like what I was seeing this AM ( reported to NOAA at 7 or 8 AM ). Since then, ROC Airport has been getting steady snowfall with a good fluffy 3" in the parking lots ( they haven't plowed since 7:30 ) and there is little to no wind .... And, when I checked NOAA ( about 10:00 AM ) they predicted ROC should get 1-2 and Albany 1-3 additional today ... that's only a difference of 1" for today so don't stick a fork in ROC vs Albany yet.Those totals look like what I was seeing this AM ( reported to NOAA at 7 or 8 AM ).

Coming from a guy who puts SU shirts on snowmen and then destroys them I don't know if I can believe you had nothing to do with it. I'm guessing you started up the plane engines right before they were taking the measurements :)Yeah, sure General.

I took a spotters training course that was given by the National Weather Service and I do understand some of what you are saying especially when it comes to strong winds. I think the biggest problem and I'm sure you know better than I do is that all of the snow spotters numbers were a lot higher all around and in Rochester. The biggest thing that stood out when I was looking around was how consistent the spotters snow totals were to each others measurements in the area. Thanks again for the input Bruce :)Bruce, Thanks for taking the time to give us some input on what goes on.
